As reported by The Week, a close friend of Redknapp isn't at all surprised by his popularity with I'm A Celebrity viewers. His friend said: "Harry is never anything less than good value. He’s had a long, interesting career and knows a lot of famous people. He’ll be fun to watch."

According to the Mirror, when predicting the reaction of his football colleagues to his stint in the jungle, Redknapp said "I think they will be surprised. Some of the players I have managed when I go in the coffin trial will hope it doesn’t open up. I am sure they will watch it. Hopefully they will laugh." The legendary footy manager also discussed whether or not jungle life would be as tough as his day job. He said: "There’s nothing tougher than being a manager of a football team when things aren’t going well,” said Harry. "When the results are bad, believe you me being a manager is a very tough, lonely occupation. You feel responsible however many people support your team every week. The buck stops with you. You haven’t got many friends when it’s not going well as a football manager. So no I don’t think doing this will be tougher."

The 71 year-old also let slip that he hasn't even seen the show before, he revealed "To be honest, I have not actually watched the programme.

Although it's still fairly early days, Redknapp would indeed be a worthy winner, and many viewers such as myself are definitely rooting for him.
